CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Illinois wrapped up the split-squad portion of training camp Thursday, going through the final day as Orange and Blue squads in shells, or shoulder pads and shorts. The Fighting Illini continued to work on fundamentals but mixed in more contact than earlier in camp.

Friday's practice will be the first for Illinois in full pads and just for that extra special touch, the Illini will practice under the lights at Memorial Stadium. History shows that something entertaining like this may happen during the first day of full pads.
